I personally don’t care to go lower than f2.8 because it gets difficult to nail focus, which is more important to me.
Exactly! Everybody has a preference 🙌🏻 thanks for watching Tristan ☺️
Good video, but a small correction: the amount of aperture blades only affects the image when the lens is stopped down (selecting a higher f=number than fully open)... wide open is wide open no matter the number of blades and usually always perfectly round.
2:09. A small correction... DoF is the distance between nearest and furthest object being in focus. A wider aperture does not equal more DoF, on the contrary, wider aperture equals a more shallow (i.e. smaller) DoF.
Some manufacturers deliberately put in OTHER differences than just 1.8 vs 1.4 like coatings, optical design and precision. They are helping you with more reasons to buy their 1.4 lenses even if you are shooting at F8. Moral? I don't think so! Ignore them? You are not serious!
For APSC shooters with the Sony a6700, Sigma offers a superb, super cheap (
Most of my photos are at night or inside historical buildings. I am getting the 35mm 1.4 GM. I had the Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art. but, it was too big and bulky, the autofocus was bad, and dust got inside the lens.
I hope you like the 35gm! I use mine so much, it’s awesome!
1.4 or f 2.8 or.......3.5-6.3 save the money
I dnt know how you guys do it but I always find myself using around t2 - t2.4 on my 35mm zeiss, too much bokeh and background blur = destroys the storytelling aspect of the location lol
Same, my wife hates it. We travel a lot and what's the point of taking pics with everything 100 % blurred. Just click pic in front of any tree and say ur in jungle lol. I think people find it difficult to find spot which make the pic look even better. So they pic easy way out to blurr everything , safe way out.
Thanks for the video. Hi!
I have a Sony A7 III. I got the kit lens with it, FE3.5-5.6/28-70mm, and I bought a FE 1.8/50 mm Sony.
I'm mostly doing gym videos and interviews. I love to be able to blue out the background so we don't get other people in the videos and I like it that way because its more crisp. Was thinking a 85 F 1,8 would work fine for this and a 35 mm 1,8 Sony but not sure. I'm a beginner. Any suggestions?
The 35mm and the 85mm are both great lenses, i still own the 85 1.8 but sold my 35 1.8 for the 1.4. I personally would go for the 35 1.8 first out of the two, would be great for gym stuff and interviews. An 85 may be a little too tight
The way my brain justifies spending money is like this. An 1.2 can double as a 1.4 and a 1.8, it’s like having 3 lenses in one, and a 1.4 can double as a 1.8 but not a 1.2. So I’m getting like 3000$ worth of value for 2000$ if I buy the 1.2. I’m just saving money. Where if I buy the 1.4 I’ll be getting 1500$ of value for 1300$. The worst is the 1.8 at 200$ value for 200$.
If only money was endless eh?!
LOOOL ok
I only shoot at F1.8 thats the lens im using on my canon but f2.8 is sharper but i love having my background blur
That bokeh is addictive 😬
Here's a little trick/tip if you have access to Lightroom. Shoot at 2.8 since that's the aperture you prefer ...then, open the photo in Lightroom and put a Mask Layer on the subject, then select the inverse of that (it should select the background) and then lower the sharpness of the background 😊
It sounds tricky but it's pretty easy
I love the sony zeiss 55mm f1.8, its super small, easy to transport and great for video and photo as an all around lens. I also own the Sigma 85mm f1.4 but barely use it fully open. It's great for portraits, but I use it nowhere near as much as the zeiss.
I have the 55 but i can’t recall when I last used it 😂😂 which sigma do you have? What’s it like?
@@DannyBligh ah, to be fair I dont do any wedding work. I have the slimmer "updated" version. Its definitely good value for its price
I'm actually debating on selling my Nikon Z 35 1.8 and get TTartisan 35mm 1.4 manual lens which is 5 times cheaper but I simply don't need the AF anymore and I'm eager for filmic vibe anyway than clicnical sharpness... but can't find any comparisons than this :D
I feel like 1.4 is for people. 1.8 for street photos. Not even 2.8 is good.
Is it good choice to buy Sigma Art Lens 1.4 35mm for my dslr Canon, I would buy that in order to change my nifty fifty 1.8, asking for wedding requirements
Can’t comment on that exact lens however I love the look of a 35mm over a 50mm. I shoot maybe 70% of a wedding on a 35 1.4
F1.2 GANG GANG GANG GANG
😮💨😮💨🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
really good content mate. what focal length are you using at 1:21 for your product close up? Great lighting throughout the video.
The 16-35 2.8 ☺️
Thanks for the kind words!!
Amazing video man, thanks for such a thorough explanation. However, I still need some advise here. For a newbie who is interested in astro and landscape photography, which one would you recommend me to buy?
Viltrox 16mm F1.8 (823 CAD tax in)
Sigma 20mm F1.4 (found it for 700 cash 2nd hand)
Thank you,
+
Never used the Sigma, i do own the Viltrox though. It’s not that sharp, it wouldn’t be my first choice. The sigma may be okay but i have no experience with it.
With an f1.4 lens too, it will (generally) become sharp before the 1.8.
If i had a choice, go sigma but do a little research first
@@DannyBligh thanks for getting back to me 👍👍
Great comprehensive review!
I would like to seek your opinion. Given my primary interest in photography, particularly in areas such as travel, street, landscape, architecture, and occasional portraits, which Sony lens would you recommend: the 35mm f/1.4 GM or the 35mm f/1.8?
Jheeeez that’s a tough one. Okay, so i’ve owned the 1.8, i use the 1.4 daily. The 1.4 is incredible, there’s never a single time i look at photos and think it isn’t good. However, my first few years of using primes were with the 1.8 and it served me well. Personally, i think most people would be content with the 1.8
@@DannyBligh Another question - can you see the difference when you take photos in the night by using GM f/1.4 and f/1.8
@@richardlim8 you get 2/3 of light extra should you need it. So a fraction less noise
Great video! Can I ask where you took the three photos from 3:10 - 3:16? Looks like north England probably, which is where I'm currently based and I've been looking to take these kind of shots!
Thanks!
They were taken in Castleton, Peak District
@@DannyBligh Thank you!
Whats best for videography, cinematography
Whatever is required for the shot 🤷🏻♂️
@@DannyBligh f1.4 or f 1.8
Wich mm will be good
f/1.2 gang lol
There’s always one 🙄😂😂
@@DannyBligh great for capturing group shots lol
My fave is keeping the lens cap on, that makes even better photos bro
For me the versatility of something like the Canon RF 28-70 f2 has made me completely not care about 1.4 primes etc, anything wider than 1.8 feels overkill and can actually be too soft!
@@thejohnnybrooks i think that lens is incredible! Damn heavy and not tiny 😂 would love Sony to do something similar
